Zeiss Vario-Sonnar 80-200mm f/4 (C/Y)

Pros: It's a Zeiss! Weighs little compared to current zooms (680 grams) and it means so much.

Cons: It's not autofocus and it's just F4.

Opinion: I had it for many years, I'm an old "Contaxista" with other Zeiss lenses. I did replace the bayonet with that Nikon (Leitax) plus the Chip (for the Matrix lightmeter). I'm used to manually focusing with the Contax and therefore I exploit the help of the assisted focusing provided by the Nikon D500. With the sensor at 21MB there are no problems, you have to program the Chip at F4 and focal 200 and the MATRIX goes perfect. The yield is almost that of the film and shooting in comparison with a Nikon 60/F 2.8 D Micro The zoom is even sharper already at F4 with magnification 100%. At that time I paid him about 1.7 million of the old lire, still worth all his money. I also had a Nikon 80-200 F 2.8 ID and personally, except for the autofocus, I prefer this one, both for surrender and for weight. I'll try it on FF body soon but there shouldn't be any particular problems. Certainly there is no stabilization, however, shooting at appropriate times as it was done with the film and exploiting the ISO I do not miss it.

Nikon D7500

Pros: RE: Advice on astro-photography

Cons: RE: Advice on astro-photography

Opinion: Yes, you can do everything. And you could with little expense take an MTO 1000mm F/11 retroreflecting and M42/Nikon adapter ring (to mount and carefully disassemble on the camera). At the time it was sold with a telescopic adaptor. On the D7500 it is used in manual and with the tripod. The judgement on a "Vintage" lens does not depend only on the size of the sensor, rather sensor, processor and software of the camera and from this point of view the D7500 uses the same processor of the D850 as well as the D500 with which it also shares the Sensor, and the results after some experiment come.
